The Giant of the Museum

A building complex 44 metres (144 feet) long with 50 rooms and 1,000 square metres (10,764 sq. feet) of roof surface – in 2002–2003 we needed 200 lorry loads to carry the Ticinese farm’s stone, wood and clay tiles to the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum. Construction of this biggest building in the Open-Air Museum began more than 700 years ago. Initially there was just a two-storey dwelling house opposite a stall. The present-day complex arose from these modest 13th–14th century beginnings through additions, roof-raisings and new construction following fi res, well into the 19th century.
